Lubrication systems

All equipment, whether it is rotating or linear motion, needs to be lubricated in order to perform according to specification.

SKF lubrication products are available for any type of vessel. In fact, many lubrication applications on a ship can be completed more efficiently and safely with SKF and Lincoln lubrication systems.

SKF Marine provides product solutions for the proper lubrication of propeller shaft bearings and steering gears, as well as winch drives, ropes and cables. In addition, grease and oil spraying systems are available for jacking systems and open gears. SKF and Lincoln automatic lubrication systems deliver the exact quantity of the appropriate lubricant to the right place at the right time while the equipment is running – without downtime.

Oil is the lubricant of choice for heavy-loaded bearings in gearboxes or sterntube seals. It lubricates and cools the lubrication points and removes contaminants from the oil cycle.
